Wall Street Money Mad.
Icarus soared so high that the sun melted his wings and he fell into the sea.
Our Wall Street correspondent expresses the fear that the same fate may overtake
American stocks. Last week the volume of business in Wall Street exceeded all records, on any stock exchange in the world. People are money mad. Former telephone boys are now investing capital in the firms which once employed them.
One broker states that he is tired of making money. Another made $35,000 in one hour on a. single stock. Mr. James R.
Keene is reported to have netted $20,-
000,000. The prices of yachts, horses, etc., are going up. Women's extravagance is enormous, and the riotous scenes at cafés and night resorts have never been equalled. Wild-cat oil and mining companies are springing up everywhere. It is feared that later will come stories of defalcations, breach of trust, suicides, and a swindling speculative mania sweeping the country like a prairie fire. Loans have expanded to $890,000,000, fully $100,000,000 more than ever before at this season, and bankers fear that the continuous soaring of prices may prove a national calamity.
THE Ophir has arrived THE OPHIR AT safely at Melbourne MELBOURNE. with the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York on board. According to the news despatches a magnificent welcome awaits their entrance into the city.
Capel Court.
The London Stock Exchange is watching Wall Street keenly. Interest in local stocks has been extinguished hy the allabsorbing task of watching the zigzag i
fluctuations of American securities. Old brokers shake tiheir heads dubiously, and ask: 'Where is it going to endr" Mr.
Pierpont Morgan's operations are attracting much attention. "Morganeering " is a word coined to describe them. But the incursion of American dollars into
European commercial enterprise has not shaken the average Britisher's belief in his own superior wisdom. A large shareholder in the Leyland Steamship Company said the other day: "Wo shall buy our ships back for much less money when the
American boom is punctured."
THE HERALD'S society SOCIETY NEWS. news this morning, on pages 2 and 3, consists of the usual London gossip and fashionable intelligence, English polo news, a full account of the racing at Longchamp, and society and sporting news from Milan, St. Petersburg, Munich, Vienna, the Riviera, and' America.
IN PARIS.
The weather in Paris yesterday was fine and warm, with intermittent sunshine and rain. The day was very hazy and at several times the rain threatened. None fell, however, until five o'clock in the afternoon, and then only a few drops.
It rained a little from 7.45 p.m. until 8 p.m. and also slightly at mid night. During the day there was a pleasant north-
westerly breeze. The barometer was stationary.
At three o'clock this morning the sky was overcast, it was raining and the barometer was falling.

[BY THE HERALD'S SPECIAL WIRE.]
LONDON, Monday.—The weather continued fine over the southern parts of the United Kingdom-yesterday, with the tem-
perature differing but little from the average for this time of year.
In the southern districts the readings were, as a whole,' slightly above 8deg. Cent., but in London the thermometer stood at 15deg. Cent. Over the northern half of the British Islands the weather was dull, with passing showers in several places, and low temperature.
The wind was north or north-west on the west coasts, and blew fresiMy in the South of Ireland. On the northern and eastern coasts, however, it was light, from the southward.
The anticyclone noticed in the United Kingdom moved away to the westward. Its eastern edge, however, still shows over the south-west of Ireland. The barometer was falling generally. A rather important disturbance is approaching in the north-west from the Atlantic. Cool and unsettled weather.is, therefore, likely to set in over the United Kingdom generally, with rain in most districts and .thunder in some parts of England.
In London the observations at 6 p.m. were : Barometer, 758mm. ; temperature, 15deg. Cent. ; wind, south-easterly, light; weather, fine.
The official forecast for London and the Channel for to-day is : South-westerly to westerly winds, light or moderate ; cold, cloudy, some rain, perhaps thunder.
At Dover.
The HERALD S special correspondent at Dovor telegraphs at 9 p.m. that the --,veather was fine, with light north-easterly winds.

In Thermometric Difficulties.
To THE EDITOR O? THE HERALD : —
Thanks to my sister from Philadelphia I. learned how to compute Centigrade into Fahrenheit and vice versa, but now that the temperature is below zero Centigrade I am all confused in my calculations, and do not arrive at the proper results.
Will some gentleman reader of the HERALD oblige me by showing the calculation in the paper whenever the temperature is below zero Centigrade and also below zero Fahrenheit?
I am desirous likewise of knowing how to figure Réaumur into Fahrenheit above and below zero. DOROTHEA SMITH.

A Scale and Rules.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD : —
THE Budget will pass, BRITAIN'S says Mr. Herbert BLACK DIAMONDS. Paul in another column of to-day's HERALD. The sugar duty is accepted' and the Is. 2d. income tax is not likely to prove a formidable obstacle. Coal is the only rock ahead, and after Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's speech of Thursday night, the Chancellor of the Exchequer may rely on a good majority for the export duty on Britain's black-diamonds.
Herewith a thermometer scale and rules which would be found very useful by your readers. I frequently see letters in your paper asking for this information.

The Week at the Paris Bourse.
, The April settlements were effected without producing any noteworthy variations' in prices. The Rente fell somewhat at the beginning of the week on account of the general strike question. It rose again on Friday in response to the
Minister of Finance's proposals regarding the investments of funds for workmen's pensions and the news of a four per cent.

[BY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
WASHINGTON, Sunday.—The final arrangements will be perfected this week for the course of the War College summer class.
Twenty-five officers will be ordered from the War Department and the Revenue Cutter service will be invited to send officers. •
Rear-Admiral Bowles has gone to New York for the purpose of inspecting the repairs to the Alabama and the Kearsarge. lie will consult with Naval Constructor Capps as to the best method for the removal of the damaged 13in. gun.
The Navy Department believes that the weapon must be hoisted out, and cannot be hauled through the side of the turret. Rear-Admiral Bowles will urge expedition in the completion of the repairs to both vessels, so that the squadron will be able to carry oh manoeuvres in connection with the War College course.
The Navy Department expects the announcement of the Newark's departure from Hong-Kong for Singapore, en route for New York.

The Petrel will leave in June, and the Bennington in July.
There will remain forty-eight vessels, including supply ships and colliers, but additional ships will be withdrawn frO.1 time in time.

[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.]
BERLIN, Sunday.—The "Berliner Tageblatt" learns that a great amount of secrecy is being observed about certain work at present being carried on in the Schichau shipbuilding yard in Danzig. No outsiders are allowed to set foot in certain parts of the yard.

Privy Councillor Busley has completely changed his views as to the value of submarine boats in naval warfare.

Steam-Propelled Submarine Boat.
The Swedish Admiralty has been offered a submarine boat invented by a Swedish engineer, M. Enroth. Its novel feature is that it is steam-propelled both below and on the surface of the water. The dimensions are : Length, 25m. ; beam, 4m. ; depth, 3m. 50cm. ; 146 tons displacement immersed, and 142 tons afloat. Two triple-expansion engines of 100 horse-
power are to give a speed of twelve knots on the suirfa.ee, and six knots immersed. Heavy oil is used as fuel. When plunging the residue is automatically ejected and motive power provided by steam in the boiler and compressed air. There are four torpedo tubes. The cost is 400,000fr.— Temps.
REPORTING YACHTS
TO THE "HERALD."
An arrangement has been concluded by which Lloyd's undertakes to forward to the HERALD all the yacht movements signalled to any of Lloyd's stations, thus enabling yachtsmen, without any further trouble than that of hoisting two flags at the masthead, under their number, to have the passage of their yacht made known to their friends throughout the whole world the next morning.
In the new intornational code, page 266 in the general vocabulary, under the heading "Now York," it will be found that by hoisting the two flags U K you signal: "Send news of me to NEW YORK HERALD in Paris." If instead of U K, the yacht owner hoists U I, the same news is sent to the NEW YORK HERALD in London; if he hoists U J, it is addressed to the NEW YORK HERALD in New York.
